Dorsie has been a full time real estate investor for the past 6 years. While focusing on building her real estate business and investment portfolio, Dorsie discovered that real estate investors have unique opportunities for retirement investing on which we should be cashing in! One of these tools is the Solo 401k where a business owner can contribute up to $54,000 per year.

Join us on Monday June 26th at 6:30PM at Atlanta REIA West and welcome Attorney Doug Shaddix. Doug will be showing us about asset protection and estate planning.

Unfortunately for those doing business today, it’s probably not a matter of IF you will be sued, it’s WHEN.
In today’s litigious society, you need only one person unhappy with your business, one injured tenant, one disgruntled individual to ruin all that you have worked for by going to a plaintiff’s lawyer to see how they can get to everything you own. If you are sued, you could lose your business, its equipment and vehicles, your personal automobiles, your home, your rental properties . . .anything that you own in your own name.

If you have significant assets of any type, you are a target for a lawsuit! You need to know more about asset protection. Enjoy greater privacy, limits on your personal liability, as well as tax benefits through the use of entities such as LLC’s, corporations and trusts.

BENEFITS OF USING ENTITIES:

Maximize your privacy, keep your name off of the public records

Minimize your tax burden

Protection from probate – a great help to your heirs

Protection from lawsuits – Shield from lawsuits what you’ve worked hard for

To learn more about asset protection and estate planning for personal and business purposes, please come meet Attorney Doug Shaddix at our Atlanta REIA West Meeting on Monday, June 26th.

Do you want to get started in Real Estate Investing? Wholesaling is a great way to get started since it’s a win-win-win deal for all those involved. You find an unwanted property, put it under contract to buy from the seller, then sell it immediately to a cash buyer. The seller gets rid of an unwanted property that needs repairs, and the buyer gets a property that they can fix and flip or rent out. The money you make in the middle between your buy price and your sales price is a nice paycheck for you!

Wholesaling is a great way to generate quick cash while learning today’s highly competitive real estate market, making contacts in the business, and building your cash buyers list. You can get started without using your credit, you don’t need a lot of cash, and you won’t take big risks when you do it right. Build a good name for yourself as a wholesaler, and you’ll have no shortage of cash buyers eagerly waiting to buy your good deals!

Join us this month at the Wild West Real Estate Event as we excitedly bring you a powerful panel of very mature, knowledgeable, seasoned investors who are ACTIVELY wholesaling single family houses in the Atlanta market, right here, right NOW! The Panel will be composed of Rock Shukoor, Peter Vekselman and Vince Ohasiligwo and is being hosted by Leslie Mathis.

If quick cash with little risk sounds great to you, then you definitely want to attend the Wild West Meeting this month!

Do you desire to become wealthy through real estate, but just can’t figure out how you’re going to get the money and financing to do deals?

Do you find yourself wondering what to do with these Sellers to both help them and make a handsome profit for yourself as well? Are you frustrated with trying to build your real estate business? If this sounds like you, then you need to be at the August meeting of Wild West Real Estate Event!

My name is Leslie Mathis, and I’m known for my expertise in structuring deals that are anything but conventional!
